Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg - North Sea Bubble lyrics

He said that all revolutions are not the same

They are as different as the cultures

That give them birth

For no one idea

Can solve every problem on Earth

So don't expect it all to happen

In some prophesized political fashion

For people are different

And so are nations

You can borrow ideas

But you can't borrow situations

In Leningrad the people say

Perestroika can be explained this way

The people who told us

that two and two is ten

Are now trying to tell us

the two and two is five

We're living in a North Sea Bubble

We're trying to spend our way out of trouble

You keep buying these things but you don't need them

But as long as you're comfortable it feels like freedom

My American friends don't know what to do

But they'll wait along time for a Beverley Hills coup

War! What is it good for

It's good for business
